**Fox Chase Farm** is one of two working farms in the city of [Philadelphia, Pennsylvania](/source/Philadelphia%2C_Pennsylvania) ([W.B. Saul High School's](/source/Saul_High_School_of_Agricultural_Sciences) Farm in Roxborough is the other). Formerly owned by the Wistar family, the farm is located on Pine Road in the [Fox Chase](/source/Fox_Chase%2C_Philadelphia%2C_Pennsylvania) neighborhood of [Northeast Philadelphia](/source/Northeast_Philadelphia) on the border with [Montgomery County](/source/Montgomery_County%2C_Pennsylvania). The farm gradually became surrounded by the city's residential neighborhoods and was purchased by the city in 1975. It is now run as an educational farm by the [School District of Philadelphia](/source/School_District_of_Philadelphia).[2]

The farm was added to the [National Register of Historic Places](/source/National_Register_of_Historic_Places) in 2005 under its old name of **Stanley**, a name it acquired when [William Penn](/source/William_Penn) granted the land to Lord Stanley.
